The Need es Trained
Negro in Industry
f t » •• ■ » I •
(Hampton Institute Press)
Today as never before the Negro
needs industrial leadership. The
European industrial worker is
not of the type which formerly
came to America. This being
true someone must take his place.
The source of supply may be
found in the Ainerican Negro.
But must he be merely a* substi
tute for the pborly” ’ equipped
South European? Must he 'be
drafted into ' industry only in sd
fat ad hid’limited powers will
allow * him to go, or will he
through ’iri’telligtehit preparation
become so dependable that his ad
vftndemtfnt fita!ted*lonly
by the needs of industry* itsfeAf?
- Not only must ‘ the’ Negro have
definite trainings* »but ’he also
needs the driving* fdree of 'organi
zation. Through lack* of »c©-op
eration much ability* is wasted.
It frequently-happens’ that those
who could bo'most helpful refuse
to combine with others; with the
result that the entir'4 Negro com-
Thier» is particu
larly true of mechanics*. . «•
•The Negro must begin to think
in terms of' co-ordination tend co
operation. In twenty-*five years,
if he is wise, he will*-be the great
mainstay of productive wealth in
this <» He has»the. power
to transform this tremendous op
portunity into • personal • Advan
tage through' organisations This
is not necessary in the North
alone,; it, is particularly necessary
in the South.
